the proposed M. Il. University, il other
engagements will permit. ,Ey sympa-
thies are with you, and will not say
but some day would back up express
sion OF good will with something more
substantial than words."-all of which
means that success waits for the brave,
and victory crowns earnest effort. The
gods help those who help themselves"
means in our case that if we are liberal
aud just to ourselves outsiders will as
sist US in substantial way. If We wish
to stand ii our own light, of course we
con do so. There is go law TO compel u ]
to be wise. We may lose this prize, but
we do not need to. Mr.. Meeker is one
Of those hopeful, enterprising citizens
whom to have in community is to have
ID community is to have power for
good" He is accustomed to ,iging
things on large scale, and bis example
is contagious. He can tell Us how great
public enterprises are promoted else
